If it's not 'all Jews', what percentage of Jews are we assuming to be actively involved in these conspiracies? Seems there would have to come a point where it reflects the situation with men and sexual assault. Eg. it's not all men, so don't act like all men are bad. I'm not implying you would suggest all Jews are bad. >> he clammed up tight, got real nervous So you say he was Jewish? In all seriousness, adolescents are often socially awkward in most scenarios. Being interrogated as to whey he missed school probably raised his cortisol levels. Is it possible his parents took him out of school for a family holiday, and gave him that as an excuse? Or maybe he needed the dual citizenship for a paperwork or tax planning deadline. Maybe it was an embarrassing medical procedure? The number of plausible, and entirely benign explanations for why he missed two weeks of school at the age of 13 do not logically necessitate any sort of global jewish conspiracy. >> Looking back lends a clarity I lacked in 8th grade. I'd hope that looking back through the murky lens of internet conspiracy theories didn't retrospectively distort the childlike clarity of your youth.
